The finale of the fourth annual Favorite Pokémon Tournament is underway in Pokémon General!View the poll and vote for as many Pokémon as you'd like. Voting is only open until the 5th of December though, so don't wait to make your picks!

Ahh, I see. I'll guess the names being something like "2 TRAINER /1" also happens in X5, as well? Its rather uncommon, but the first trainer (the one battling with a Spearow against a guy with a Pidgey on the left-most path, when you go to Mr. Pokemon's house) and a few others have it happen to them. Misplaced exclamation marks on other trainers, too, but they're just tiny details that aren't actually affecting the game. Though I'm sure people have pointed that out to Zel, already. It doesn't degrade the fact that even as BETA, this is the best ROM hack I've come across. I got the biggest nostalgic feeling, when I saw videos of it, on youTube.

I believe that was done so that Zel can tell which trainers are the Phone # trainers. I believe itll be fixed by the final release or a later Beta. Just ignore it for now.

Probably a wise thing to do. With loads of trainers, it wouldn't be hard to forget which were for the Phone Calls and stuff. XD

keep it up zel

Actually, past and present Pokemon games pretty much cover in excess of 300 names, so finding them wouldn't be too much trouble, but granted, recalling them wouldn't be a good idea, since, for example, I only remember a few trainers from games because they have names of people I know or they use names I've used online. XD

Though I'm not complaining; I was just mentioning it, since I wasn't sure about it. Zel's ROM is awesome; even for a BETA. Its a very enjoyable and nostalgic experience, going through Gold again, but with 3rd Generation styles. I'd guess that if and when remakes for Gold and Silver come out, I'll likely still play Zel's Version, because like Peppita said in Star Ocean, its a "fleeting vision of the future!" or something like that. A concept on top of the possible eventual remakes.

On top of that, some of the additions I've noted look pretty cool, and I'm looking forward to getting to the point where I can start picking up on those Legendaries. XD

Yes I knowone, how about the one that says: "Saving, don'turn off the power... " It closes automaticly!

I dont know if I'm able to see that part on that script, since it's something that's always active. Probably it is possible, since there's messages around, but I'm not sure...
Any other that's not so critical?

Zel, have you giving any thought to what you could do with the starting movie with the Gengar and Nidoran? It would be cool to see a new intro for Gold.

Have I giving any thought to that? Nope, But I dont think we could be able to do anything too different to what's present, so that's why it's not even in my list (it could be possible that I decide to leave it as it is, in the end, this IS a hack...)

Of course there are Betas 1 and 2. Although I dont know why you'd need it

I do have them, but since I'm not on Windows since a long time, it'd be better if some "hack collector" (?) would contact Friendsxix.

I'll consult Hiroshi about that (maybe a thread in the Scrapbox), but...

Spoiler:

...we all know there'll still appear some of those messages here, and then we'll get unnecesary "just post that in the scrapbox thread", at least for a while :\

I'm sure old people remember about there being a lot of those arrows on Dark Cave.

Just a minor tile fixing

keep up the great work!

Yeah the time to waste is the key here. Depending on how lucky you get you may get a bunch of items with few bucks, but on the other hand, you may waste your fortune on the minigame...

The anime area is merely a coincidence (that sounded like some movies' phrase), because I was just thinking about pretty names in spanish, and then translated it to english. Anyway, it's not related to anime events, but, there'll be a very critical event for someone there.

Holy flamin' damn! This has come a long way since I last visited PC. (Whoah, that was like a year ago?) I'm impressed. The tileset's awesome; you did a nice job on the Johto map; the phone booth is pure genious. I'm most impressed with the music. Did you figure out how to loop it, then? Well hey, awesome work, Zel! Keep it up!

(And try to fix the Union Cave Pokémon Center... )

The looping was figured out by clonex (at least, he's the first I think), and now he and Magnius (havent heard from birthofdna in a long time) are giving me a hand with the music part.

About the PC at Union Cave...

But the digging event is great, simple too
From beta 3 (the first beta I played) I thought that this would be just a remake, But you've added a lot of originality to this.
I love the new music, the sprites, the battles.
I wish you the best man, keep it up.

My idea is to keep it as a remake and at the same time not being "so" remake, just enough "remake" to satisfy as much people as possible. Maybe that's the key here? Who knows?

I'm just grateful for having so many people's help. That's also key, of course ;D

That Battle Tower's purpose is to offer two or three different battle modes. But since it's just an idea and nothing implemented I cannot really say anything else about it.

Deoxys had an awesome theme, that's why I asked.

It HAD, before it was replaced by Carlos' music. You win some, you lose some. So, RSE legendaries' music will depend on if there's slots that we could use. The GSC music has the priority.

Ahhhhh... Done!
Now I can go to sleep, I'll be a bit more around this weekend.

I just want to let you know, zel, that it is possible to change the intro movie. I can't remember which hack it was, but I'm100% sure I've played a hack where the intro movie was edited.

Keep up the great work. I've been playing this since B1 (no, I don't remember any arrows like that, it's been too long) and actually stayed away from this site, because I was killing myself waiting for the next beta. I came back to find that you were already on Beta 5, which was awesome. Now I've played all the way through that and can't wait for the next Beta. Maybe I should ignore this until you're done? Who knows. Keep it up, you rock.

Hey, I've been coming to this site for awhile but I just registered so I could download Beta 5. Is it still working for people right after they download it because I went to patch the ROM and for some reason, all I get is a white screen. I tried both methods of patching described in the other thread (using ipsXP) and it still won't work. Any suggestions? Thanks and sorry guys. I'm pretty new to trying out hacks, but I couldn't pass this up.

Thanks again for any help.

hey there, your best bet is to go to the scrapbox and go the shiny gold help thread. i've never had any problems, have you tried lunarIPS? that's a better patching utility.
also, what firered rom are you using? because sometimes depending on the location of the rom ([E] [U] [J]) depends on whether the patch will work or not.

Hey, I've been following this for a little while now, but I only just decided to join (I've been browsing over the manga forums a bit too) and plan to download the latest beta when I finish my college year in a few weeks. I've gotta say the more I see the more impressed I am, and I love the music remixes you've done, so keep up the good work.

Also on the topic of the game's music, I found this a little while ago and wondered if it would be easier, harder or similar to implement.

(without spacing)
It looks like you've already got this theme covered, and this one was *supposedly* from R&S (by hacking it) anyway. I don't know much about hacking so I don't know if it would be already in FR&LG somewhere. Just wanted to bring it to attention incase it hadn't been before and wondered if it may help XD

I'm amazed you managed to make a digging mini game. Will there be any other D/P/P elements in Shiny Gold eventually? Can't wait to see more

I found one and it worked, thanks guys. You can tell I'm new at this. I'm playing it now, looks amazing Zel, Can't wait for the finished master piece.

But I do have a question.

Okay, so I read that you said we can explore the Center and East Kanto map, can we still go to all of the cities or will it crash if we try to go there? Or can we still go there, but there arn't any scripted events?

For a guy who really liked G/S/C, and whose favorite was Crystal, this game is really looking awesome! And judging from the BGM remixes on YouTube, the music is really good. I'll play the beta when I get the chance, but for now, keep it up!
